“What am I going to do now?” I muttered, pacing left and right in my room.My life, already a tangled mess weaving between Richard and Noel, had just taken a nosedive into the pit of the unknown.A werewolf baby.Was that even possible? And how in the world did I, a decidedly average human, end up carrying one? What would happen to me?“Come on, Adel, think something,” I mumbled, biting my thumb.For years, I had longed for a child with Richard, dreaming of the joy and fulfillment that parenthood would bring. But now that the reality of my pregnancy had set in, I found myself consumed not by elation, but by fear and apprehension.Noel was not a normal werewolf. He was powerful, the Alpha of his pack. And I was a mere weak human. What would this child be? Strong and fierce like Noel? Or would the baby inherit some semblance of my human fragility?Fear of uncertainty loomed over me. I thought I would research human-wolf children. I sat with my laptop and went into the werewolf-human for

Shock and embarrassment gripped me like icy tendrils as I stood frozen, my eyes locked on the delicate fabric of my underwear clutched in Noel's hand. How had it come to this? My mind raced, trying to piece together the events that had led to this mortifying moment.A gradual realization crept over me, sending a jolt of panic through my veins. My toes curled in discomfort as I registered the absence of my undergarments beneath my clothes. I must have forgotten to put them on in my rush to leave his office early this morning.‘Shit,’ I cursed under my breath, berating myself for my carelessness. How could I have been so reckless? What would Noel think of me now?Heat flooded my cheeks as self-consciousness washed over me, making it difficult to meet his gaze. I swallowed hard, trying to gather my thoughts.Noel waggled the underwear and smirked, “Miss Adelynn, I didn’t know you were so bold. You left it in my office!”“I-um…” I stumbled over my words, struggling to find a coherent resp

I arrived at the restaurant and sat down at the table that was reserved for me. The sound of clinking silverware and muted chatter filled the air as I scanned the room for my blind date. A hint of frustration simmered within me as I checked my wristwatch.Time was a currency I valued greatly, and her tardiness didn't sit well with my punctual nature. She was supposed to come at 7 pm, but she didn’t show up yet.Adjusting my tie, I glanced around, thinking to wait for another ten minutes. If she didn’t show up within that time frame, I would leave.The clock was ticking away, and with each passing minute, my impatience grew. I squirmed in my place to find a suitable position; then a figure caught my attention. Tall and striking, she glided towards me, clad in a form-fitting red gown that accentuated her curves. Yet, despite her physical allure, an instinctual unease settled within me. There was something about her presence that set off alarms in my mind, a silent warning urging me to r

I shoved his grip off me, fury replacing the initial shock. Every instinct screamed at me to lash out, but then I realized Lily was not around. Panic flooded me as I scanned the room, searching in vain.Had she left, furious and heartbroken? She might have misunderstood me. My irritation morphed into bitter resentment aimed solely at Noel. Why? Why did he lie and claim me as his fiancée? How could I possibly explain this to Lily?Lily might be thinking I hid my relationship with Noel. I was not sure what she was thinking about me- an opportunist to date my boss?My gaze snapped back to him, my insides simmering with rage. "Why did you do that?" I spat, the words laced with venom. "Fianceé? How could you lie so effortlessly? I can’t believe it.” I sighed in dismay, looking at him disdainfully. “I didn’t know you, a strong Alpha, would resort to such cheap manipulation!"My voice trembled with restrained rage. "You're despicable," I hissed, "You use your power to manipulate and control

Adelynn’s POV…Noel's abrupt departure left me stunned, my mind reeling with unanswered questions. I couldn’t understand what had happened all of a sudden. One phone call made him serious and prompted him to leave.‘Who called him?’ I wondered. My stomach twisted into a knot of confusion.My appetite vanished like a wisp of smoke. Then I realized the bill was not paid yet. Suddenly, a sense of unease settled like a weight in the pit of my stomach. I felt a cold wind blowing across my back, causing my hair to rise. I swallowed hard.“Damn it,” I muttered under my breath. “You are a fool, Adel. You shouldn’t have trusted that man.”The bill would be high without a doubt. With a resigned sigh, I signaled for a waiter.“Please prepare the bill,” I said.“Don’t worry about the bill, ma’am,” he said politely with a smile. “You are Mr. Wilkinson’s guest. Enjoy your meal.”I blinked in disbelief. Did he mean I didn’t have to pay the bill? The realization brought a wave of relief to me, and I
